Re: Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed

Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I've tried all the rebooting steps and it doesn't help. The problem is sporadic, but I just bought this laptop a few weeks ago. Already exchanged it once for the same issue. Is this just a lenovo defect across all their laptops!?

Re: Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed

Yesterday I received a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. The defects this computer has is as long as my arm.

The most serious being what you describe. Every time the computer fully powers down it is next to impossible to boot. Blue screen with message of Default boot device is missing or boot failed.

When I enter the BIOS the hardware configuration says no hard disk was detected, which I would guess is the cause of the boot fault.

Until I can send it back for a refund I would refrain from turning off the computer, but sleep mode also does not seem to work on the yoga 2 pro. Every time it sleeps it won't wake up and I have to hold down the power button to turn it off.

Since you have a Gateway product I would recommend you visit their website for support issues. The procedures outlined here to correct a Lenovo problem most likely will not apply to a Gateway computer. Visit their site at the link below.....
